Mapping Mishaps. #AvoidingDataPitfalls
Oh noooo! TN had data on vaccine recipients’ zip codes. They wanted to report it by county. So their software vendor assigned 100% of a zip code’s vaccinations to the nearest county, evidently not realizing many zip codes overlap multiple counties.
I can understand people buying a TV with either one of these wall mounts, but it seems odd to me to recommend buying all three together. Seems like @amazon might be falling into a pitfall of prescriptive analytics? #AvoidingDataPitfalls
This is an example of a leading question, a wording bias in which those who write a survey seek to elicit responses favorable to their interests. It’s misleading and unethical to present the results using different terms than the ones used in the survey. #AvoidingDataPitfalls

"The invasion of Ukraine is a waking nightmare, horrible and absurd. And it’s being done in our name," Alexey Kovalev, an editor at the independent Russian news outlet Meduza, writes in a guest essay. https://t.co/fwwN4veu3A
I had a chance to present #AvoidingDataPitfalls for one of Kirby's classes here in Seattle, & I like what he does in this video, shining the spotlight on a misleading chart that appears on a product's packaging. It gives the appearance of being based on data, but it likely isn't.
Buyer Beware! Kirby White breaks down confusing "chart art" on the package of a spark plug to show that the graphic designers might not actually be conveying data at all: https://t.co/FuOAbs3o1d
A concerning new way of using data to track employees. How many emails they send & meetings they attend are measures of their activity levels, not the results or *output* of those activities. I wrote about this in #AvoidingDataPitfalls, p.168-172 (Pitfall 5E: Moronic Measures).
Esoteric metrics based on analyzing extensive data about employee activities has been mostly the domain of fringe software vendors. Now it's built into MS 365.
A new feature to calculate 'productivity scores' turns Microsoft 365 into an full-fledged workplace surveillance tool:
I'm reading an article in which the writer states, "33% of business will fail after 2 years." While 33% may fail *by* the 2 year mark, 100% will fail *after* that point. Communicating data well involves using the right words, and this can be tricky, too. #AvoidingDataPitfalls
I have no idea why, but my book #AvoidingDataPitfalls is 53% off the cover price on US Amazon, today. I've been watching the price for a few months, and this is the lowest I've seen it. So there ya go! https://t.co/XcJJwF0nBt
@DataRemixed Thanks for the reminder, On my next amazon order! @DataRemixed #AvoidingDataPitfalls #DataLiteracy #DataViz #DataStoryTelling #MISatGCSU https://t.co/Orm5Iyg0Xc
There's a reason why I chose this to be "Pitfall 1A". It's so easy to conflate data with truth. #AvoidingDataPitfalls https://t.co/PRgDQ3XXBn
@DataRemixed It will be on my next book order, I have a backlog of reviews to do for @AlbertoCairo @visualisingdata @infowetrust and @TheRialMichelle But I highly recommend you buy and read this book too! #BenAppreciationDay #AvoidingDataPitfalls
I have some good news, #data fans! If you wait until the end of June, my book will be FREE on Amazon. Beyond that, they'll pay you to take if off their hands. https://t.co/4RVLt456bV #ExuberantExtrapolations #AvoidingDataPitfalls #ItsInCh6
Enjoying the webinar from @DataRemixed to introduce his new book #avoidingdatapitfalls. I love how he's keeping everything grounded with real life examples and stories... But my FAVOURITE part has to be the alliteration in each of the common pitfall names! #languagegeek
The full cover #AvoidingDataPitfalls is FINAL & this baby is off to the printers! Many thanks to the talented & generous @giorgialupi & @AlbertoCairo for cover quotes. You two are an inspiration to me & so many others. Shipping in the US on 11/20! https://t.co/tjfqgDeU3u
Oh hey! If you're in Seattle next week, come join me at the local @tableau user group SEATUG & hear me talk about my forthcoming book #AvoidingDataPitfalls! The session is on Mon, 9/16 at 4:45pm at 4th & Madison. RSVP here https://t.co/CEeS0BiopL
It's happening... #AvoidingDataPitfalls - November 19th is the date. Preorder your copy here: https://t.co/ZOh1ztlGHj Message me to book me to speak about it at your organization or event. I'll also be offering an online "ADP" class in December, so look for that, too!
I just submitted the first draft of the concluding chapter of #AvoidingDataPitfalls. This one has been a long road for me. I signed the contract over 4 years ago. The good thing about those extra years is that I found even more pitfalls to add, mostly by falling into them myself.
